00:00Now, you said you'd like the Rangers to start with this year to win the West.
00:04So did I.
00:05They are at Globe Live tonight taking on the Orioles.
00:07Evaldi versus Shane Boz.
00:09And Boz, by the way, has been lights out over his last four or five starts.
00:14He's been very good for Baltimore.
00:16The problem is Baltimore is averaging about four hits a game right now.
00:20The offense is MIA.
00:22Don't tell me about Rushman because he's already been hurt,
00:25and this precedes all of that.
00:27So, but Evaldi's had a couple of blowups.
00:30He's not been the Evaldi of old.
00:32So I don't know.
00:34Are we laying too big a price here with Texas?
00:38Yeah, you know, this is kind of a stay-away game for me.
00:42I can't bet Baltimore that they're lousy.
00:45You know, Texas is laying only $1.40 or so.
00:47So if I had to, that's where I would go.
00:50The Orioles had a 10-1 run against losing teams like Texas is just barely.
00:56But maybe the over seven-and-a-half, which isn't a bad little number.
01:00You know, Boz thinks, you know, of all these, he's had a struggle.
01:03The ERA over four, that's where I would go.
01:05But, you know, I can't bet Baltimore.
01:07This Texas team, they started to turn things around, Joe,
01:11and then now they lost six of their last eight.
01:12It's like every single time with this team,
01:15they got a receiver back last week.
01:17They just can't get over that hump.
01:20They just can't for some reason.
01:21It's amazing.
01:23Yeah.
01:24And I don't get it either with them there.
01:27Rockies are taking on the Cardinals.
01:30Leahy's another guy I keep waiting to get blown up, but he doesn't.
01:35Feltner for the Rockies.
01:36Rockies are better at home.
01:37I mean, they're almost an automatic fade on the road, no?
01:41Yeah.
01:42You know, I will say this about the Rockies, right?
01:45They're not good.
01:46We know that.
01:47But they're not like last year where they were just the worst team in the
01:51history of baseball, right?
01:52Their longest losing streak this year is six games, which, you know,
01:57for a team that's going to lose about 100 games,
01:59that's actually pretty good.
02:01They've avoided that, you know, losing 8, 9, 10, 11 in a row,
02:05or 11 out of 12 streak, right?
02:07So they're always 6 and 11 since the All-Star break.
02:11Cardinals stink.
02:12They've managed to take two out of three against the Yankees,
02:14which is just amazing because they play bad baseball.
02:17But, you know, I don't say this too often, but, you know,
02:20the Colorado Rockies felt they're okay.
02:23Pitched well his last time out.
02:25I know I went against them.
02:26I forget who he beat, but he did.
02:28Maybe the Rockies are a little flyer on them.
02:30You've got to take some underdogs every now and again.
02:32You're getting plus 150.
02:34I don't think the Cardinals should be 160 and change favorites over anybody.
02:37So I'll take a flyer on the Rockies if I had to.
02:41Look at Leahy's last six starts.
02:45It's, I can't, he strikes nobody out, although he doesn't walk a ton of guys,
02:50but he's given you six innings and he's only given up one earned at most there.
02:57And I don't understand it because he can't strike anybody out.
